Publication number: 20180099073Abstract: A surgically implantable containment member for maintaining a bone augmentation material in a desired location and/or configuration following implantation in a human or other mammalian patient, in which the containment member is made of a natural membrane, such as pericardium, isolated from an animal donor and processed to avoid inflammation or tissue rejection, and a method of bone augmentation using such a containment member. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the containment member has a window which rapidly dissipates upon exposure to bodily fluids after implantation to expose bone augmentation material contained within the containment member to an adjacent bone to be augmented.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2017Publication date: April 12, 2018Applicant: OSSEOUS TECHNOLOGIES OF AMERICAInventor: David CHEUNG

-
Patent number: 8353967Abstract: A biocompatible, self-supporting, curved, collagen membrane adapted to be secured by bone tacks or bone screws over exposed bone at a desired bone graft site in the alveolar ridge of a patient such that the membrane defines a space having a predetermined height and width over the exposed bone, in which the membrane maintains its structural integrity for at least 4 months after implantation at the bone graft site and then naturally breaks down and is resorbed by the patient's body, a method of making such a membrane, and a method of using such a membrane for vertical augmentation of the alveolar ridge of the patient.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2010Date of Patent: January 15, 2013Assignee: Osseous Technologies of AmericaInventors: Jay Malmquist, David Cheung, William Knox

Publication number: 20120135376Abstract: A biocompatible, resorbable collagen membrane having a wedge shape with a thick edge of relatively higher strength and rigidity and a thin edge of relatively higher deformability and elasticity, which membrane is bendable to a desired configuration and is sufficiently rigid to retain the bent configuration upon implantation at a surgical site; a method of making such a membrane, and the use of such a membrane in a “sinus lift” procedure for augmenting alveolar bone.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2010Publication date: May 31, 2012Applicant: Osseous Technologies of AmericaInventors: David Cheung, Edwin Shors, William Knox
